NIGHT GUARDS AND SPORTS GUARDS

NIGHT GUARDS FOR NOCTURNAL BRUXISM

Clenching and grinding your teeth during the night can make sleeping difficult

Waking up with tired with sore muscles can negatively impact your quality of life. Additionally, clenching and grinding your teeth may damage them, causing cracks, chips, and excessive wear and aging your smile.

WHAT CAUSES NOCTURNAL BRUXISM?

Some of the causes of nocturnal bruxism (clenching and grinding) include a misaligned bite, certain medications, lifestyle factors such as stress or anxiety, drug use, alcohol use, and genetics.

HOW WOULD A NIGHT GUARD HELP?

A night guard places a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, protecting them from causing damage due to the extreme force your jaw exerts – especially subconsciously. Our custom night guards not only provide protection from teeth grinding, but also reduce other symptoms such as headaches, neck aches, and jaw pain.

Stop Suffering With Pain Caused From TMJ Or TMJD

Night guards dramatically reduce the symptoms caused by TMJ or TMJD (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction) If you awaken with a headache, jaw pain, sore teeth, or facial pain, you may have a condition called TMJD. Often caused by malocclusion (a misaligned bite), TMJD prevents your jaw joints from functioning properly. Clicking, popping, and locking in the joint can all be indicators of this condition.

TREATING TMJ OR TMJD WITH NIGHT GUARDS

By wearing a specially designed oral appliance, or nightguard, we can help your jaw find a comfortable resting position, allowing these muscles to relax and reducing your symptoms. Our custom-designed oral appliances fit your teeth snugly, are easy to get used to and provide relief within a relatively short period of time. They are non-invasive and may help you avoid surgery in the future.

Protective Sports Guards For Patients Of All Ages

Any time you play a sport, it is important to evaluate if tooth injury is possible. Athletic mouth guards can offer protection during sports such as hockey, soccer, football, baseball, wrestling, soccer, boxing, and lacrosse.

While children and teens are often encouraged to get sports guards to protect their smiles, sometimes their parents forget that if they play sports, they need protection too!

We can make sports guards in nearly any color, from a discreet clear to your team’s colors. Our custom athletic mouth guards fit well and stay put when you need them most.
